Default Starts perfect cold, wont start when warm?

My sc will start perfectly when its cold, but if i drive around and its fully warmed up and I shut it off for a short period of time it wont start. I pop the hood and let it cool down for an hour and it starts right back up. Just wondering if any other turbo sc's have experienced this? Downpipe is heat wrapped and I will be getting a turbo blanket here shortly. Any other ideas on how to keep under-hood temps down? (if thats the cause of this)

Thanks

Funny, but i had that problem when my fuel control ECU went out. Try the 12v mod to see if thats the problem.

search around a bit, someone here just had a somewhat similar symptom. It was a loose cam position sensor or something like that.
